candidate was elected. by plurality OF
l4,7l2 over bis Democratic opponent. In
1886 there was guberna!osiai Issue, and
the Republican plurality WIS only 600.
The aeaigned causes for this falling away
two years ago were that 1t was On ''oh

party leaders had become so serious and
widespread tha. many Republicans re.

Oregon has long been closs State. Ths
vote OF next Tuesday will be on amend
menss. To ahow the party strength, how.
ever, let 1t be stated that in 1884 the Re.
publican candidate for Congress was elect
ed by 5000 to 93,G52 for bis Democratic
opponent; in 1886 the vote stood 20 9lS
for the Republican, q, 2S3 for tho Demo-
crat, and 2,75S for tho Prohibitionist.
Virginia ia having another remarkable
campaign, although on the account of the
retirement Of General Malone there is not
such general interest taken in it as there
was IN the one Of two years ago. In 1884
President Cleveland ran behind Governor
Lee 7,cl7 votes, while Mr.. Blaine ran
ahead Of tue Republican candidate for
Governor 2,S46; the difference between
Mr.. Clevelsnd's and Mr.. Blaine's vote was
5,l4l, or less than one.thi,d OF the msior-
ity Of Fitz Hugh Lee. In Virginia there
were in 1885 only II PSohibitionis.s, 40
that that vote is scarcely to be considered
there this autumn.
